6 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (of Tiberias). 2 Now a great crowd was following him because they were seeing the signs that he was doing on the ones being sick. 3 Now Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 (Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near.) 5 Then Jesus, having lifted up his eyes and having seen that a great crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, “From where might we buy bread so that these might eat?” 6 (But he said this, testing him, for he himself knew what he was going to do.) 7 Philip answered him, “200 denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, so that each one might receive a little.” 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, says to him, 9 “Here is a little boy who has five barley bread loaves and two small fish, but what are these to so many?” 10 Jesus said, “Make the men sit down.” (Now there was a lot of grass in the place.) So the men sat down, about 5,000 in number. 11 Then Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, he gave them to the ones reclining to eat; likewise also with the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 But as they were filled, he says to his disciples, “Gather up the remaining broken pieces, so that nothing might be lost.” 13 So they gathered them up and filled 12 baskets of broken pieces from the five barley loaves which were left over by the ones having eaten. 14 Therefore, the men, having seen the sign he did, said, “This truly is the Prophet coming into the world.” 15 Then Jesus, having realized that they were about to come and to seize him so that they might make him king, withdrew again onto the mountain by himself alone.

16 Now as it became evening, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 and having gotten into a boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already happened, but Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 A strong wind was blowing, and the sea was being aroused. 19 Then, having rowed about 25 or 30 stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. 20 But he says to them, “It is I! Do not be afraid.” 21 Then they were willing to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land to which they were going.

22 The next day, the crowd that had been standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except one and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone. 23 Other boats came from Tiberias close to the place where they had eaten the bread loaves after the Lord had given thanks. 24 Therefore, when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples are there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum seeking Jesus. 25 And having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26 Jesus replied to them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me not because you saw signs, but because you ate from the bread loaves and were filled. 27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life which the Son of Man will give you, for God the Father has set his seal on this one.” 28 Then they said to him, “What should we do, so that we might work the works of God?” 29 Jesus replied and said to them, “This is the work of God: that you would believe in the one whom that one has sent.” 30 So they said to him, “What sign then do you do, so that we might see and might believe you? What will you work? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ” 32 Then Jesus replied to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the one coming down from heaven and giving life to the world.” 34 So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” 35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one coming to me will certainly not hunger, and the one believing in me will certainly not ever thirst. 36 But I told you that you have both seen me and do not believe. 37 Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and the one coming to me I will certainly not throw out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not in order that I might do my own will, but the will of the one having sent me. 39 But this is the will of the one having sent me, that I would not lose from it anyone whom he has given me, but will raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone seeing the Son and believing in him would have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

41 Then the Jews began to murmur about him because he said, “I am the bread having come down from heaven.” 42 And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus replied and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 No one is able to come to me unless the Father having sent me would draw him, and I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And all will be taught by God.’ Everyone having heard and having learned from the Father comes to me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the one being from God—he has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, the one believing has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, so that a person might eat from it and might not die. 51 I am the living bread that has come down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live into eternity. Now my flesh is also the bread that I will give for the life of the world.”

52 Then the Jews began to argue among themselves, saying, “How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?” 53 Therefore, Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you would eat the flesh of the Son of Man and would drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves. 54 The one eating my flesh and drinking my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 The one eating my flesh and drinking my blood remains in me, and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one eating me, he will also live because of me. 58 This is the bread that has come down from heaven, not just as the fathers ate and died. The one eating this bread will live into eternity.” 59 He said these things in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.

60 Then many of his disciples, having heard, said, “This word is hard; who is able to listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 Then if you would see the Son of Man going up to where he was before…? 63 The Spirit is the one making alive; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who are the ones not believing and who is the one that will be betraying him. 65 And he said, “Because of this, I have said to you that no one is able to come to me unless it would have been granted to him by the Father.”

66 From this time, many of his disciples stayed behind and no longer were walking with him. 67 Therefore, Jesus said to the Twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom will we go? You have words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed and have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.”[fn] 70 Jesus replied to them, “Did not I choose you, the Twelve, and one of you is a devil?” 71 (Now he was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the Twelve, was going to betray him.)

The phrase the Holy One of God is in the best ancient copies. Some later copies add an additional description, and they read: the Christ, the Holy One of God.
